A psychiatric evaluation for addiction is a comprehensive process designed to understand the full scope of substance use and mental health issues. This evaluation typically involves several key components:
- Personal History: Gathering detailed information about the individual’s background, including past substance use, mental health history, and any previous treatments.
- Psychiatric Assessment: Conducting in-depth interviews to diagnose any co-occurring mental health disorders.
- Psychological Testing: Using standardized tests to measure aspects of mental health and substance use.
- Physical Examination: Assessing overall health to identify any physical conditions that may be contributing to addiction.
Goal of the Psychiatric Evaluation
The goal of this evaluation is to create a tailored treatment plan that addresses both the addiction and any underlying mental health conditions. By understanding the interconnected nature of these issues, our healthcare professionals can develop more effective interventions and support the journey to recovery.
